All are spectacular but I like the Jays the best. They seem sharper to me. Well done photos.

Great catches Vicki. The portraits of the Jay are outstanding. I have never been able to photograph a hummer so I am a little jealous.

I'm grateful for your kind reply Jan. I've posted many HBs on this site, but I think 99% are perched. My in flight shots have resulted in a smoking delete button!

Thanks Sylvia for letting me know you enjoyed these. I thought about using the title, "Hummingbirds for Sylvia."

I am still hoping to see at least one on our travels!

Today I focused on a couple of Hummingbirds and a Scrub Jay. Light was filtered by a light cloud covering. All were shot with a Canon 7D and 150-600mm Tamron lens mounted on a tripod.

The first two are of the Jay as he tried to maintain his rather precarious perch in the wind.

Nos. 3, 4, and 5 are of male Anna's Hummingbirds. The iridescent throat feathers change as the light hits them.
